My worst review said that my paper was technically sound but my entire specialty was a "cottage industry" generating computational models with no real-world relevance and therefore the paper should be rejected. The editor offered the opportunity to rebut but what could I say to something like that?

(The reviewer still lives, as far as I know.)

On the plus side, this meant that I was rejected by PNAS but then published in BJ.
